why do you use a transmission? wouldn't it be more resource-saving when using a bigger e-motor without transmission?

So you can turn it into a hybrid. Charge the batteries with it.

hey , have you tried using 6volt deep cylce bateries instead , just to try to increase distance? i know that they are alot more heavier but you'll gain some pep , if i were u i wouldnt spend time on the ev 1 motor controller cus it has too many security features that will cut out power , and it controlles speed (slow speed that is) stick with the curtis type and experiment with the amp ratings on them , they are much more simple to work with

The car is using a 48v pack of 6v golf cart batteries now. The 12v batteries shown were just for testing. And we stuck with the Curtis controller: 48v 400A peak (used golf cart controller).

Who says I'm arguing; it's just an idea. And check out the tzero, you will see what I am talking about. I noticed a lot of engineers are pricks like you.
